And while that is as true a part of aging as our gray hairs and laugh lines, it doesn’t have to limit our lives. Just ask Susan Lucci, the beloved actress who has been wowing All My Children fans as Erica Kane since 1970. Lucci shows no signs of slowing down: she’s even introducing her own fitness apparel line to QVC, based on fan favorites from her QVC shows, and of course she looks fantastic both on and off the air. |

FIT MAKEUP. THE NEW MUST-HAVE ATHLETIC ACCESSORY. BUT IS IT SAFE? AND IF SO, WHAT YOU SHOULD USE. Is it me, or did makeup recently slither and sneak its way into gyms across America as an acceptable athletic accessory? When did this happen and why?

IT’S GOOD TO ADD A LITTLE WEIGHT IN YOUR 40S. START WEIGHT TRAINING TODAY. Weight training is a must once you turn 40. It’s a way to refuel your body with power and combat some of the effects of aging on your body. Just cutting out some calories won't do it anymore like it did when you were in your 20s. |

CONQUERING GYMPHOBIA. You want to workout at a gym and get healthy, but you are extremely intimidated. You don’t consider yourself a gym rat and you’re not looking to be one. Look, I get it.

ORGANIC EXERCISE. AT HOME IN YOUR GARDEN. When you garden, you experience a number of health benefits. Gardening in particular is associated with mental clarity and feelings of reward. If that’s not enough, all that planting, watering, pruning, and weeding eases stress and anxiety, improves memory and concentration, aids in improving hand strength and dexterity, helps immune regulation, and boosts self-esteem and well-being. One long-term study found daily gardening to represent the single biggest risk reduction for dementia, reducing incidence by 36%. For sure, just being around your garden right in your own backyard can improve your state of mind, giving you more energy and helping you to feel more alert, alive, and peaceful. |
